CONNECTING TO
POWER
You can power the receiver from in-
ternal batteries, standard AC power,
or your vehicle’s battery.
Installing Batteries
Your receiver can use four AA batter-
ies for power (not supplied). For the
best performance, we recommend
RadioShack alkaline batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and recommended
type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (stan-
dard, alkaline, or rechargeable),
or rechargeable batteries of dif-
ferent capacities.
Follow these steps to install the bat-
teries.
1. Slide the battery compartment
cover in the direction of the arrow
and remove it.
2. Slide four AA batteries into the
compartment, according to the
polarity symbols (
+
and
–
)
marked next to the compartment.
For easy removal, place the bat-
teries on top of the lift-out ribbon.
3. Replace the cover.
Notes:
• When you press
POWER
/
to
turn on the receiver and
flashes on the display, or the
receiver stops operating prop-
erly, replace the batteries.
• To test the batteries’ power
strength, turn off the receiver.
The battery power indicator dis-
plays for 7 seconds. If the battery
power indicator is below 2,
replace the battery.
• The receiver maintains all the
memory settings for about 3 min-
utes after the batteries are
removed.
Warning:
Dispose of old batteries
promptly and properly. Do not burn or
bury them.
